If men are from Mars and women are from Venus, how do Martians and Venutians differ when it comes to shopping online? As you can imagine, somewhat differently.
Men and women have rather differing needs when it comes to shopping online, whether it is about pricing and promotions, the use of mobile devices, or the kinds of goods and services they purchase. For example, women prefer their online shopping experience to be rather comprehensive, while men like it straightforward and simple. And while men mostly shop for themselves and buy only when the need is immediate, women also buy for others and can buy based on future needs.
